Overall Satisfaction with Apache Maven
Primarily Maven is used as build automation and dependency management tool in the organizations that I have worked. For java applications, maven eases the dependency management workflow throughout the release cycle and enable consistent dependency versions in all environments from local development to pre-production, till production environment. It also enables higher level dependency management across different apps and levels in the organization
Pros
- Dependency management
- Build management
- Build automation
Cons
- performance
- extension management
- maven cache
- It was very handy to roll out organization level frameworks to be used by diverse departments and business
- Consistent build artifacts enabling smooth release cycles, thereby enabling to adhere to release calendars and feature rollouts
- Reduced 80 man hours of work every release cycle
- Gradle Build Tool (Open Source)
Have evaluated and used Gradle for dependency management and build tool automation. Gradle scores well in performance, compared over with Maven.
